ALICE J. WVILSON, OF ABILENE, TEXAS.

DISH-DRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 410,818, dated September 10, 1889.

Application filed October 9, 1888. Serial No. 287,697- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALICE J. WILsON, of Abilene, in the county of Taylor and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improved Dish-Drier, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my new and improved device for drying dishes, knives, forks, spoons, &c. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view taken on line x 00 of Fig. 2.

The invention will first be described in connect-ion with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.

The drier may be made of tin, galvanized iron, or any other suitable material, and comprises the body A, (which is, by preference, circular and fiaring,) the hinged lid or cover B, and the base 0. In the base C or bottom of the body A is held a false bottom D, supported some distance from the bottom E by the legs D or the flange D ,-or both. The false bottom D is perforated and forms the chamber F, from which projects the spout G, by which the drainage-water may be poured off from the chamber F below the false bottom D.

face of the false bottom D, and which support the cross-pieces K, on which the dishes to be dried are placed, or against which they are leaned.

The cover B is perforated to permit the escape of steam, and the drier is provided with a handle L, by which it and its contents may be conveniently handled.

The drier is to save the work of wiping dishes. The dishes are washed, turned down in the drier, and hot water poured over them. The lid or cover is then closed and the drier shaken a little to drain off the water, and the heat remaining will dry them without further labor and with a better and glossier appearance than can be produced by wiping. The steam rising passes off through the perforations of the cover, and the drainage-water may be poured out through the spout G.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The dish -drier herein shown and described, comprising the body A, cover B, false bottom D, side chamber H ,and spout G, substantially as described.

2. The false bottom supported a short distance above the main bottom of the drier and provided with the opposite uprights J J, in combination with the straight parallel crosspieces K, held by the uprights J, substantially as shown and described.

3. The body A, having perforations H and having side projection H and spout G, in combination with the cover l3, false bottom D, supported from the main bottom of the drier, and having the uprights J and crosspieces K, substantially as described.
